Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hey Rig,
  
  How can I get a copy of your gray book? I've sent the "Cosmo" site 
some of my scanned PDF work previously but I didn't ask for this from 
him. Just like I didn't look through the messages in the group (I did 
look through the files section in all 3 CZ groups) for the CZ-1 sysex 
spec. Midiquest wanted the actual sysex data transfers to see if 
there is any special handshaking going on. So I would have had to do 
all the work I did anyway. Still it would be a big help to get a copy 
of this book just to see Casio's take on it... I'm amazed at how many 
of these CZ synths are around and how scarce the Docs are for some of 
them. Please let me know what we can work out.

Thanks, Fran
